NOTE: Gateway information depends on the datacenter of machine:

In DC1 use VLAN 13( 172.27.2.1 )

In DC2 use VLAN 2101( 172.27.130.1 )

Verify the OBP(Open Boot Prompt Level) by typing the following commands as root:

Type ‘uname –i’ to verify the class of machine as you’ll need that to get correct obp upgrade software. Example Output for a V240: SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240

To verify the OBP level type ‘/usr/sbin/prtconf –V’

Example Output: OBP 4.22.33 2007/06/18 12:45

Use the above information to obtain a copy of the latest obp for your model machine. On

pxe00.unity.ncsu.edu under /tftpboot/solaris/model#/obp/ will be a zip file of the latest obp patch for

that machine. Copy over the .zip file into /tmp/ , unzip, and follow the readme instructions that come with package. A reboot will be required so make sure and be on the console of machine.

The README file for LOM upgrade procedure below will contain the minimum OBP level required in order to run LOM software. OBP MUST BE UPGRADED first if below minimum level otherwise LOM won’t work properly. Once new OBP is applied(if needed), continue on with the LOM update.
